Official description

You're at the controls of a powerful 21st century attack helicopter. Cruising just above the tree tops, you see a military convoy down below. Maneuvering into position, you start blasting away with your laser cannon. Suddenly the aircraft is rocked by hostile fire from a lethal enemy helicopter!

Jamming the throttle forward you make a quick 180 and get your butt out of there. He gives chase, but with a few hot moves you shake him. You pull a 6g turn and go after him for some major pay-back. Firing one of the radar guided missiles, you blow the wimp into a thousand pieces!

You then spot an entrance into a mountain cave and charge right in. Flying through a network of underground tunnels, you fight-off swarms of vicious attackers. Landing at an industrial complex, you jump into your state of the art, heavily armed tank and start pulverizing everything in sight.

Your destructive efforts are cut short when rounds start slamming into your vehicle. Spinning around, you pound the offending tanks until they're history. Out of the corner of your eye, you catch a glimpse of a large strange vehicle just before it disappears into the darkness. Your heart racing, your hands sweating, you start down the corridor not knowing who or what waits around the next corner!

If you are looking for a good adrenaline rush, then you're sure to enjoy this intense action game from Blue Byte. Aliens have secretly set up operations on Earth and it's up to you to put a stop to their sinister plans. Blow `em away with your Sioux AH-23, a high tech attack helicopter, and the T1, the next generation battle tank.

Almost 20 different types of tenacious and cunning opponents will be gunning for you from the air and the ground. Increase your killing power and strengthen your defenses with bonuses found in secret passages and hidden rooms.

Experience awesome real time 3-D graphics as you journey through mountain ravines, subterranean caves, Inca ruins and underground alien complexes. This breathtaking, lifelike world will unfold before you smoothly and quickly, thanks to a highly advanced 3-D graphics engine that does not require any accelerator cards.

Aggressive game play and quick reflexes are required for the short, fast-paced missions. Simple controls means there's no time wasted learning complicated systems. Right from the start you'll be immersed in an intense, heart-pounding, action packed world of deadly beauty!

Description

The game was among the first to take benefit of MMX CPU instructions, and for a DOS game it had unusually impressive 3D graphics.
